Running device drivers as unprivileged user-level code, encapsulated into their own process, has often been proposed as a technique for increasing system robust- ness. However, in the past, systems based on user-level drivers have generally ex- hibited poor I/O performance. Consequently, user-level device drivers have never caught on to any significant degree. In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to build systems which employ user-level device drivers, without significant per- formance degradation, even for high-bandwidth devices such as Gigabit Ethernet. |
